Guests will head to Italy next weekend after first arriving in Paris for another type of celebration before the actual nuptials, ABC News confirmed last week.

"I love Florence, I love Italy and the Italian lifestyle," West told Florence's La Nazione newspaper. "And I think we conceived our daughter North here, among the masterpieces of the Renaissance. It was our first honeymoon."

He continued to gush about Florence, saying: "It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, for me the most beautiful in Europe."

"Here I want to learn the art of the designer," West told La Nazione. "Ed Herman is my Master. For me fashion is not a game, it's a real passion and here in his study are not treated as a celebrity but as an artist."

West isn't hiding his excitement for the big day next weekend.

"[Very] excited. But very happy," he told the paper. "I'm a romantic: Kim for Mother's Day I donated a wall of flowers. The family is everything to me, is the antidote to the drudgery of fame. The family and the creativity relax me. And I like to create for my family."
